Dverna,
There was an earlier response stating that “load” was not intended for 308W due to case capacity. Are you using in 308W or a larger cartridge?
Yes, I was loading on a single stage...

I recently picked up a 7mm-08 and am considering casting hunting rounds for it. Anyone have a suitable mold and Lyman/RCBS sizing die they are interested in parting with? I prefer a flat point...

Thanks guys. This is why this is one of my favorite sites and why I’m here. Good information and good people. No need to be ashamed of a mistake, and it’s there for us all to learn from. I’ll post...

True. I did weigh every charge, I just weight them to the wrong amount. I have some IMR4198 that I have a decent quantity of. Think I’ll start at the (correct) minimum and see how that treats me....

Pulled the remaining rounds. Each load was thrown by hand and checked, but must have set it improperly as the charges read 22gr instead of 12. Luckily this is a good action and a relatively forgiving...

Good morning. I had an interesting thing happen to me last night while working up a load for my son. He bought a Savage M110 in 308 Winchester and thought it would be fun to shoot a cast bullet...
PWorley1 won the lead balloon! Molds came in today. Both were 58 cal hollow base molds. Deal was decent, and I can use both if I can ever finish my muzzleloader! Both cleaned up and cast well.

That wouldn’t hurt my feelings either as I have a rifle that would probably love that design!
Thanks for replying. I know this isn’t the best pictures, and the auction was ending too quickly by the time I saw it to be able to ask any questions. I think the Lee mold that it is coming with is...
I haven’t gotten it yet. Just curious what your trained eyes see to either build my anticipation or kill it!
My curiosity got the best of me today, so I won an auction with this mold in it. There were no better pictures of the cavity and no numbers in the description. I think I see a SWC design which may...

Anyone have a spare Lyman M-Die in 45P (or spare plug) they are willing to part with?
Thanks!

Another look. Anyone have any dies they would part with?
Forum: Completed Deals
Still on the lookout for a set of dies. Anyone have anything they aren’t using?

Know what the 360271 will cast diameter and weight wise? It’s a SWC design, right?

Thanks OMGB. Singles are perfectly fine so long as a usable bullet drops! Looking forward to hearing from you.

Found a mold. Need dies!!!
I have a friend with an old 38-55 lever action that I would like to help cast/load some ammo for. Looking for reasonably priced dies (prefer Lyman, RCBS okay), a good...
I sold a Lyman 457122 a while back that I kicked myself for selling. Wasn’t sure how much I would use it for my 45 Colt Contender. Found they are a dandy muzzleloading bullet for inlines but couldn’t...

PM sent. Die says 224, but sizes to 226. Let me know.

I’ve got the top punch and a 224 sizer die. Let me run a few through it this evening and see what diameter it throws for you. Came in a lot, so I have no prior experience with it.
